3:07 am
driving decisions like this. well there's a bit more behind than just moral issues there is a pretty clear policy at a lot of u.s. corporations that many jurors are not supposed to have relationships with employees who report directly or indirectly to them so obviously the company is one to avoid that decisions might be influenced or old soul that some of the managers take a vantage of their positions and we've seen it in the pocketbook couple of years and all of the past years again and again that we had some high ranking c o's from companies like boeing hewlett packard's or priceline who had to leave their positions because of relationships with employees what does this resignation mean for intel what's the consequence it's not a pleasant day for signage and it's not

a pleasant day for intel either he actually had done a pretty good job in the past couple of years transforming intel away from the p.c. business more to see me conductors for smartphones for video games and other areas and he did start with the firm in one thousand nine hundred eighty two and he became c.e.o. five years ago so the stock of intel lost a good two percent here in the thursday session and was that intel was the second biggest loser in the dow jones industrial average there is talk that actually they have a pretty strong line of possible people filling in the position but well as i said to him he did a pretty good job in the past couple of years and that's why investors at least for now showed a negative reaction. for us thank you so much. inequality is rampant around the world especially in the food sector
